SCOTRAIL'S temporary timetable will come to an end next week.

From Monday, October 7, the full timetable will be back place after months of a reduced service.

Two services an hour will now run to and from the Borders during the day on weekdays and Saturday with an hourly service on Sundays.

The temporary timetable was introduced on July,10 due to a pay dispute and fewer drivers available for over time.  

ScotRail plans to recruit 160 new drivers a year to reduce the reliance on overtime working.

Mark Ilderton, ScotRail service delivery director, said: "We are delighted to confirm that our full timetable will return on Monday. We have been working round the clock to deliver this in a very short space of time because we know how important a full service is to our customers.

"It’s been a difficult few months for our customers and staff, and we thank everybody for their patience.

"With a pay deal agreed and the full timetable back in place, everyone at ScotRail is focused on delivering a safe, reliable, and green service for our customers."

Peak fares returned to the service after the off-peak trail ended on September 27.
